document.write( "Make a sketch. Let the point O = (2,3) be the center of the circle.\r\n" );

document.write( "Let A and C be endpoints of this chord.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the triangle OAB is a right-angled triangle.\r\n" );

document.write( "Its leg OB has the length \"sqrt%28%282-%28-3%29%29%5E2+%2B+%283-0%29%5E2%29\" = \"sqrt%285%5E2+%2B+3%5E2%29\" = \"sqrt%2825%2B9%29\" = \"sqrt%2834%29\" units.\r\n" );
